What does this mean for workers? Perceptive's move touches 2 jobs, which together employ about 512,000 people in the U.S. Across them, AI and robots already touch between 0m (dental assistants) and 31m (general dentists) of a typical 8-hour shift. A single company's move is an early signal for these jobs, and the time cards show how far the change has spread nationally.
A pilot is a limited test, often at a few sites, that may or may not expand.
